exclusion of everything you might think the 2016 campaign should have been about, now that we can look back at it with clear hindsight and what was really going on. but i have to say, this is not like getting the agriculture department involved here, right? or even getting the state department involved here, as dangerous as that was. getting the justice department involved here is a dangerous new thing for the power of that part of the state, the power of that part of the government to be brought to bear against the president s political enemies. to be brought to bear, to gin up something for his political benefit. authoritarian leaders, the world over, tend to get re-elected specifically because they bring the power of the state to bear on the election machinery that keeps them in power. u.s. justice department being employed here to try to rerun that part of the 2016 campaign, where they ginned up a fake scandal and tried to pin it on the democrats, so that the media and all its both
building. this white house stone walling just adds to their case about obstruction which they say will factor in to articles of impeachment. thank you. joining me now is congressman a democrat who serves on the judiciary and foreign affairs committee. thank you so much for joining us. my pleasure. in this letter the white house argues that your impeachment inquiry is ill legitimate and unconstitutional. what s your response to that? it s not appropriate or permissible for the subject to challenge the process. this has been under way and now under way by six committees of jurisdiction. this is an effort to distract from the core allegations of the impeachment. the president of the yiet pressured a foreign leader to gin up dirt on a political opponent and withheld military aid as leverage to do that. this is shocking behavior.
kim jong un or the taliban or our closest allies or fears adversaries like russia, there is no strategic plan by the administration. talks with the north koreans stopped and started over the past year, now the white house is starting to reengage with north with iran, to gin up what donald trump calls a better nuclear deal. also developing tonight a senior restrictions source confirms donald trump is still looking to get out of afghanistan as soon as possible. thanks a lot. do mag a rallies lead to an increase in hate crimes? evidence next. a brutal case, 6 of the 7 people charged identified as being part of the deadly ms 13 gang in the country illegally. former governor of maryland joins us next. va home loan for veteransewday
of the president s seat to appeal to the racism and nativism of some of his supporters to gin up and galvanize white voters to turn out in these states to make a difference for trump in the election. we saw him do this, by the way, in the 2016 cam paper and in the closing weeks of the 2018 midterms where president trump talked a lot about race and stoked these divisions. but for this to be going on through the 2020 campaign, which is more than a year out from now, this could be a very ugly year of campaigning and divisive rhetoric from the president and also stoking a lot of divisions in the country. we ll see how the democrats respond to it. but it s very much central to his re-election strategy as ashley reported. we sort of went from one straight to the other. the point annie was making. yeah, we had a little bit of a break for mueller. is this something he could keep up for more than a year at this pace? sure.
tweeting they should go become to where they skam from. it s still four women of color and what that really tells you is the president was to some of the pressure in the aftermath of that chant, but he s still happy to animate his base and he s very much willing to continue and weaponize race and identity in order to do so. whether or not it s going to work is a separate question. i do think that when you look at the midterms and the way that the president tried to, again, gin up fear around immigration and go back to some of the tactics he used in 2016, it didn t work in some of the congressional districts in the house. us be we shouldn t shut r fwar coat it. it s the case that the president still sees an opportunity to target these four women and it s very much rooted in the fact that they are four women of color. cory booker says trump isn t is just a racist, he s worse.
